What Role Do Image Apps Like Hipstamatic Have in Photojournalism?

Damon Winter won third place for “feature picture story” from Pictures of the Year International with photographs taken on an iPhone using the Hipstamatic app. See Winter’s series of photographs, called “A Grunt’s Life,” which was part of an ongoing Times series. Poynter hosted a live chat last Friday with noted conflict photographer Ben Lowy, who has used the iPhone in his work, and Kenny Irby, Poynter’s senior faculty for photojournalism and diversity. (Winter told Poynter he probably can’t participate because he’s on assignment overseas; however he did send a statement that summarizes his approach and reaction to the controversy.)

But where the images came from is pretty unorthodox for mainstream photojournalism: Winter shot the photos on his iPhone, using the Hipstamatic application as a faux-polaroid filter.”
